On the 23rd May, Fellows Environment attended an event held at Royal Liverpool Hospital organised by the North West Energy Forum focussing on “Energy Opportunities in the Public Sector”. The event centred on the context with which Local Authorities have to work, before using the hospital’s CHP engine to showcase the vast improvements to carbon emissions and cost that are possible for institutions to make with minimal initial outlay.
The group was then taken around the CHP plant and shown how the technology works step-by-step, how it has been upgraded since its initial installation in 1993, and how the system is to be changed over the next few years as the hospital plans to change location and reduce its energy demand.
